Abstract
We carried out experiments on the ice growth and temperature profiles of aqueous solution flow of winter flounder antifreeze protein in a mini-channel. The solution was cooled by an electronic device. We mesured temperature field in the flow using a near-infrared camera. It was found that concentration of solution and flow rate affect temperature field. The temperature dropped near the interface when the concentration of solution was high. The temperature gradient became large when the flow rate was high. The concentration of solutions was highly related to the ice growth suppression by the antifreeze protein.
